happy new year

with the new year in full motion, i've been deeply contemplating what my resolutions will be this year. 2012 was an amazing year of changes (some good, some sad), and i'm excited to see what 2013 has in store for me and my family. so new and fresh, a great time for change and setting new goals. 

• family -- grow and strengthen our time together. set healthy sustainable goals. actively find a local church that supports our values and beliefs. 


• marriage -- plan a retreat and date each other more outside of the home.


• kids -- visit local preschools to determine the best curriculum for silvie next year. enroll brenner in an activity outside of school. reactivate family time and daily devotional reading.  


• friends -- continue to grow the friendships that are healthy, loyal and consistent; plan weekly gatherings.  


• photography -- create a book of photos for 2012. spend more time learning my camera and edit less. 


• crafting -- learn to paint and use my sewing machine. pin less. create more.


• reading --  join or start a book club. 

so those are just a few things i'd like to see happen this year. i wish you all a blessed 2013 filled with laughter and good health. ~xoox
